HEAT TRANSFER

It is called heat transfer, thermal transfer or heat transmission to a series of physical


phenomena through which heat spreads from one medium to another.
This occurs when two systems of different temperatures come into contact, allowing the
energy flow from the highest concentration point (in this case higher temperature) to the
lowest concentration, until a thermal balance is achieved, in which the Temperatures.
But whenever there is a heat difference, it will tend to be transferred through the available
means. Depending on them, such transfer may occur in three modes: driving, convection,
and radiation.
It is called conduction to heat transfer by direct contact of particles of one material with
those of another, without transferring matter between the bodies. It occurs in all
aggregation states: solid, liquid or gaseous, although convection is often preferred in the
latter two.
The amount of heat that is transferred by conduction is determined by the Fourier law,
according to which the rate of heat transfer through a body is proportional to the
temperature gradient that exists in it.
Convection is similar to conduction, except that it occurs in cases where a fluid receives
heat and moves to transmit it within a space where it is contained. That is, it is the transport
of heat using the movement of a fluid, whether it is gaseous or liquid.
Such transfer occurs in the terms set forth by Newton's Cooling Law, which states that a
body loses its heat at a rate proportional to the temperature difference between the body and
its surroundings.
Radiation is the only heat transfer mechanism that can occur in the absence of contact, and
therefore also of a physical medium, that is, in a vacuum.
This is because its origin is in the thermal movement of the charged particles of matter,
which triggers the emission of electromagnetic particles (thermal radiation), their intensity
depending on their temperature and wavelength.
